Condor Frame or "off the peg"?

Buy the Condor. You won't regret it. Any of those mentioned are great. The new Super Accaio is worth a look as well. I bought my first Condor in 1995. I have three. Aside from perhaps a heritage Colnago I wouldn't ride anything else as a summer bike. I potter down the shops on the 1995 Italian and I race on a Moda. They are classy bikes and a very good British company.

hmm depends how confident are you about your custom geometry? im not yet, been through 4-5 frames of various sizing. happy with the current bike but wouldnt commit to potentially making a unique to me frame even now.

have you ridden any of the bikes at all yet?

i after doing lots of ebay impulse buys decided a budget and rode about 15 bikes and over a decent distance before settling on my final choice.

i do have a soft spot for condor though... a guy at my club has the fratelli in orange. it is tooooo sexy

do what you think is best, everyone and their grannys grans gran has a specialized so if you turn up with a condor you wont need your name on it for the cafe stops. cubes have always impressed me as well

f==k it! buy a condor, infact buy 2 and i will give you my address to send the other one!
